| | '''Special weapons''' are variant weapons that can be unlocked in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' by performing various tasks. They can be broadly divided into two categories; boss and firebase weapons - alien weapons acquired by defeating [[High Value Target]]s and [[human]] weapons that can be unlocked by acquiring [[Valor]] and requisitioning them at [[Forward Operating Base]]s. |

| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Campaign===
| |
| In campaign, Legendary variant weapons can be broadly divided into two categories: boss weapons, which are alien weapons acquired by defeating [[High Value Target]]s, and [[human]] weapons, which can be unlocked by acquiring [[Valor]] and requisitioning them at [[Forward Operating Base]]s. Legendary variant weapons of [[Banished]] and [[Forerunner]] origin can be distinguished by their white or silver painted appearance, while human Legendary variant weapons can be distinguished by their black colouration with yellow stripes and trim.
| |
| | |
| Some of the Legendary variant weapons are featured in ''[[Armory Infinitum]]'', a series of flash fiction hosted on [[Halo Waypoint]]'s regular [[Canon Fodder]] blog posts.
| |
| | |
| ===Multiplayer===
| |
| Outside of their campaign use, Legendary variant weapons are available in the game's multiplayer. In matchmaking, they are typically available in Big Team Heavy, [[Slayer|Super Escalation Slayer]] and [[Fiesta|Super Fiesta]] game modes.{{Ref/Twitter|Halo|1653870907222290434|Halo|Quote=Level up weapons on your way to victory 👊 Super Escalation Slayer is now available in New BTB Unlimited! #HaloEchoesWithin|D=22|M=5|Y=2023}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/may-update-preview|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=May Update Preview|D=22|M=5|Y=2023}} Some Legendary variant weapons are featured prominently on specific maps; all may spawn in the locked vaults in the [[Big Team Battle]] multiplayer map [[Fragmentation]], the ''[[Diminisher of Hope]]'' is available on [[Scarr]],{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/maps-overview-season-4|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Maps Overview <nowiki>|</nowiki> Season 4|D=15|M=6|Y=2023}} and the [[Pinpoint Needler]] is the central [[power weapon]] on [[Prism]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/maps-overview-season-5|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Maps Overview <nowiki>|</nowiki> Season 5|D=12|M=10|Y=2023}} All Legendary variant weapons are available as part of [[custom game]] settings and [[Forge/Halo Infinite|Forge]] placement.{{Ref/Site|Id=Support|URL=https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/6882880281364-Halo-Infinite-Weapon-Equipment-and-Vehicle-Inventory-|Site=Halo Support|Page=Halo Infinite Weapon, Equipment, and Vehicle Inventory|D=05|M=05|Y=2023}}
